Peace
The peace I feel
Is on a beach
Listening to the waves crash
Against the sand
Watching the sun go down
To who knows where
The gentle breeze takes me
To a make believe place
I’m homesick again
For what could have been
But as I stare out into the sea
I once again am overwhelmed with peace
I leave
My footprints trail behind
I unwind with the song of the sea
I fall asleep, swaying
Like I’m on a ship, rocking me
The dreams come and go, I know I’m not alone
Just as the palm trees sing
Is on a beach
Listening to the waves crash
Against the sand
Watching the sun go down
To who knows where
The gentle breeze takes me
To a make believe place
I’m homesick again
For what could have been
But as I stare out into the sea
I once again am overwhelmed with peace
I leave
My footprints trail behind
I unwind with the song of the sea
I fall asleep, swaying
Like I’m on a ship, rocking me
The dreams come and go, I know I’m not alone
Just as the palm trees sing

Author's Note
While I was not born and raised near the sea; I grew up visiting it. I’ve never had a bad time at the beach. It’s always been my calm, my peace.

It really does, it’s hard to be stressed when the sound of waves takes your stress away

What a splendidly poem you've penned! I could almost feel the peace you describe, with your depiction of the natural elements—the crashing waves, the setting sun, and the gentle breeze. Simply marvellous! To make it even more enchanting, a bit of rhyme might add an extra touch of magic, just like the rhythm of the waves.
